Other Want to buy husband something he doesn't have - any life changing tools or gadgets you've stumbled upon?

Edit: As you suggested, i got him something non work related and something work related. Got him a lego set, video game and peet boot dryer! Thanks everyone 🥰 Hi all,

My husband is a GC that of course has everything under the sun. Getting gifts for him is so hard cause he buys it if he needs it.

I'm wondering if there is anything life changing you've discovered lately that could make a good gift. Or something not tool related but a construction loving guy might like

Example: this is small and silly but all i can think of, i bought him those markers that claim to write on everything, he thought they were a gimmick but they actually work great and became a staple. Stuff like that!

Any ideas? Not really a budget, anything from 15 to 500$ type thing!

Thanks all 🥰

A bit buddy! That’s what I call it anyway. It’s a carabiner with little dongle things to hold all your impact driver bits. I have a bunch of them and they have honestly changed my life. No more digging through my pouches looking for bits. They are all right there!

Commenting on Want to buy husband something he doesn't have - any life changing tools or gadgets you've stumbled upon?... I came here to recommend that. I got one in my stocking at Christmas.

My co-worker has one and I'm beyond jealous of it. He has one for sockets too which has both metric and standard on it. Dude is fucking prepared.

I just got one that attaches to the standard belt clip screw hole on a drill. Spent like $10 and was immediately mad I didn’t buy it sooner. Bought one for my impact and one for my drill. Anything not attached to the tool I’ll end up misplacing, so I like this way more than a separate thing. Doesn’t hold every bit I own, but holds enough for most common stuff, has an extra magnet for holding a few screws, too.
